Underwood: http://www.daltondailycitizen.com/n...cle_c185f83c-ab54-59f4-9960-e2cbe95174ee.html

Underwood says her top priorities if elected would be education, religious freedom, the right to bear arms and economic development.

"My promise is I will represent and work for the citizens of our community and not the special interests in Atlanta," Underwood said. "Citizens in our community want their voices to be heard. The results of the presidential election have shown people want their issues addressed, not those of the special interest groups. I hear concerns about the future of health care, children's education, religious freedom and Second Amendment rights."

Well....
VPC calls all teens "children" for the purposes of pushing their agenda. Incidentally the "gun deaths" rate for "children" ages 0-5yrs is almost non-existent while it is not insignificant for "children" ages 15-20.

Goodson said she is pro-life and would like to see abortion legal only when the life of the mother is at stake and only as a last resort.

Peppers cited statistics showing that most women who have abortions already have children and are economically distressed. She said the key to reducing the number of abortions is to provide quality child care, which would allow women to work and to support their families.

A left-leaning candidate won a runoff slot for a conservative Dalton-based Georgia Senate seat http://wp.me/p3Xdqv-8aL #gapol

Democrats hope to pick off conservative Dalton-based Georgia Senate seat

Democrats have quietly supported Peppers, who is on the county's zoning board and served on the commission in the 1990s. She received national attention in the late 1990s for a lawsuit she brought against the Dalton Regional Youth Detention that exposed overcrowded conditions and healthcare problems.

Well I was going to change the title and add "Vote today" but of course I can not.

The Dalton-based Senate seat up for grabs in a special election should be a safely conservative district. But Democrats are hoping an independent candidate can squeak by in a low-turnout vote
